“When did excuses and blame shifting become acceptable because we allowed a group of people to tell us how we each react to different influences?”

Honest truth?

People need to stop thinking its ok to blame their chosen actions on their chemical balance level.

It’s said that we only use an average of 10% of our brains true protentional and if we accessed higher our capabilities and abilities could become, somewhat, supernatural like.

Now I’m no scientist and I dare not contest or prove the facts of the mind’s true abilities. However, There is no denying that our minds are a lot more powerful than society understands - let alone wants us to know, and probably there is the whole factor that us, ourselves truthfully don’t want to know or even begin to understand how powerful it truly is, because… then we would have a lot less to blame our choices on… and honestly, I get that, I to share that common flaw and fault.

HOWEVER… 

When did excuses and blame shifting become acceptable because we allowed a group of people to tell us how we each react to different influences? 

Have people forgotten the fact that our bodies work as a complex system while each person being unique to their own way their body responses to things – Meaning we are all different and therefore our experiences, responses and reactions in every sense of the words, are… Unique… so how can anyone say how you will respond to something? Rather what is said is a guide line to what Could be expected. But once again society has taken this to a new level, letting these “guide lines” become an excuse to act a certain way, instead of just owning up to the fact… that in truth… It is how you are choosing, in your mind, to respond.

I smoked weed, therefore I am lazy and don’t focus on anything… I drank a bit much, therefore my ambitions went out the window and what I did or said wasn’t really me, – I was to fucked to realise what I was doing… I had some chemical enhancing drugs, therefore although my brain is actually functioning at a higher more focused and alert level, somehow… this still enables me to blame lack of focus, true care for life, the people in it and what they going through as well as the “forgetting” of ones promised words, plans made, self-goals and so many more excuses for bad behaviour.

NO! I’m sorry, but that is a complete LIE! And I REFUSE to accept it or see it as a point to try understand your actions. These are excuses society has given you to justify the decisions you make and to help ensure you… and you hope others, that nothing really bad was meant, and that there is little to no truth behind any of it… And you know what? That’s a Codfish move! If you gonna do or make decisions that impact others emotions, your or others lives, the work you have put into others or the care you have for them. Rather grow up - own up to it - and aim to improve your flaws. And if that’s to much for you? Than at least decide what your own unique body can handle and what it can’t… Your body knows its self-better than anyone, so listen to it and be aware.  

Is what you doing now really worth the future damage you know you avoiding but will come no matter what? Don’t let it negatively impact even the near future regardless of the distant one.

There is something much more important than discovering your own body limitations though, and it is the very thing that people seem to forget above all the rest.  The fact that you control your mind, and your mind? Your mind Is more powerful than anything can conceive or fully understand (even through all the development and technical advances that humankind has achieved). And what controls your actions, decisions and response? Your mind… Same as it’s the very thing that keeps your body functioning and heart beating.

Therefore in conclusion; Even when your body and your mind are influenced by chemicals, surroundings or whatever – The fact is, is that they only open up certain areas of your brain that you don’t or cant access on a regular bases therefore it heightens the level in which you brain is functioning enabling you to make decisions based on your own current desires without certain barriers – But you forget, you the one that put those barriers there, you did it for a reason, because you felt strongly enough about it and you decided something was more important or it didn’t fit into the person you aim to be. So when you remove those barriers and decide to show a different side of your self…. Own up to it and accept the actions made, the words said and the emotion shown by you. Blaming it on your choice of usage, abuse or escape is a weak excuse and lie to cover the truth that clearly lies within you.

It is you who chooses those actions, it is you who controls those responses, and its you who decides what your focus will be on.

Its so noisy out there The world is so noisy today. Everyone is yelling. Can you imagine how I feel? I divide my time between the UK and the US.

No matter what, never forget the fact that you own a strong heart. Get hurt, but do not give in to it. You are innately capable enough to fight all those hurts. Trust me, time is all you need. Everything is going to heal sooner or later :) PS. This one is heavily inspired from a recent quote of @evenfallpoetry - Your heart is of gold, it can survive any storm. After reading it, I had to write this, couldn't resist. Thank you for writing such an heart warming and inspiring piece @evenfallpoetry ❤️ #soul #heart #heartofgold #storms #battles #lifebattles #hurt #motivational #inspired #inspiring #catalyst #boost #selfcare #selflove #thepoem #poets #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #writersnetwork #writer #igpoets #voicesofpoets #new_born_poets #quotesgram #morningmotivation #bliss #positive #life #quotes #writings #blackandwhitewrites #saivasudev @thegoodquote @evenfallpoetry @iinkkers @new.bornpoets @voicesofpoets @classymotivations @tryfortomorrow @motivation.4.all @writerspocket @poets @poetsglobe @poetstribe @theenchantedgirl @thepoeticreverie https://www.instagram.com/p/B24Wz24nJYe/?igshid=ealtim0gt3iz

Circling Arc de Triomphe

*Side note; “Arc de Triomple is a one of the top 10 most confusing intersections in the world, it is in Paris.’

“The following poem was written at the end of short lived but definitely one of the most life changing, difficult journey’s I have been on so far... I was broken beyond what I thought I could be... little did i know life, life wasn’t done with me yet... but that’s for another post...” Signed Xena - The Wounded Warrior

One thing life does promise Is that time will never stop moving forward The days will always continue Just as I can see my physical being moving and completing each necessary and available steps that lay next; However, in those still quiet moments... Where I dare to look within; I see this... Barely breathing soul just standing right in the middle of  The Arc de Triomphe roundabout with this look of being Completely Perplexed, Bewildered, Disjointed and truly Baffled. I risk my sanity abit more and peak within that souls mind Where all I find is Muffled Rambling that is so... Scattered, Scrambled, Topsy Turvy... it makes no sense And it is perfectly clear that the soul is Pursuing, Chasing, Hunting something But what that is?... Seems to even be unknown to the soul As though it is engrossed by all the roads surrounding As well as the left over demons Those ones that come in only after the storm, like vultures picking at the dying That are condemning and causing Hopelessness leaving a heavy sense of being damned Which spreads the lie of believing there is no end to this doom The scars I see on this dazed soul, many not yet healed Reflecting the lost battles of the many road the soul tried to turn down but was blocked off by turn. I find myself mouthing the same words... I began to notice the soul had been repeating Over and over like a stuck record These words were the perfect display of the Bewildered and Disjointed Scattered and Scrambled Engrossed  and Heavy Weighted Hopelessness Caused by the many failures and lost battles They left all these cuts and bruises all over and so the words, we both mumbled; So what God? What do you require in order to place this soul where it belongs... A place it will heal, Grow and Achieve Even if its for only another chapter At least let it catch its breathe on solid ground, So what god? What do you Require?

Breakthrough is one of those things we talk about not because we want it but because that’s home. A place where you feel confident and strong enough not just for you but also for those you care about.

The government does not care how you make your own ends meet. It’s the state and community that has resources for your benefit. Take time during this to check on your friends that you know are jobless. Your hairstylists, bar tenders, waitresses, cooks, photographers, and self owned businesses need your help right now. They will not talk to you about it most likely. So you talk to them about it.

Today I woke up to no propane/ heat in my house. I live in Iowa we are still having 30 degree weather. I can not use my stove or oven, it’s ran on propane. I can not take a hot shower. Little luxuries that we all take for granted. Not sure how I am going to pay 250$ for propane right now. Since I can not work because #socialdistancing. I applied for unemployment yesterday. We will see where that takes us.

I’ve gone too far to give up. I already survive numerous devastating life events and remained standing and taller than ever. I endured things that most of my peers are afraid to face to.

That’s why giving up is not an easy option for me. If there’s a chance, no matter how slim, I’ll give it a shot. Not because I am fool, but because I am trained to know what battles are worth fighting for and what battles are worth giving up.

To give up or to keep fighting is my choice. But I will definitely not go home after a long tiring day with nagging regrets of not trying enough.
